Lesson Learned Today I went to the post office to put money on my card. I counted the money first and the teller count it and it was £500. I put in my card and it was declined twice. It must be offline so I said that's okay I just try again tomorrow and she handed back my money. I went to do my shopping. And before I left the shop I don't know why but I check and count my money and it was not right. I only have £440 even if I add the other notes I have my money is nowhere near £500. So I went back to the post office and talk to the teller and she insist that she never put the money in the register until the transaction is successful so that should be the right money. But I also insist that my money isn't right and I say it nicely not insinuating that they took my money but I know mistakes can happen. So what I did was I told the manager, I also work at the shopping centre and I just want them to double-check their money. I told them I'm not in a hurry even after their shift where they do settlements and I can just leave my number. Coz I'm sure that I have other £20 notes aside from the Queen's head which are the ones that just left. So if I'm right there are 3 of them missing. They are very helpful, they did the settlement and count at the till and I'm so relieved to get back my £60. Lesson learned and it's my mistake, I should have counted the money when they handed it to me. So learning from this experience of mine, count first whatever money transaction you're dealing with.
